AJ Styles vs. Ricochet US title match official for WWE SummerSlam
Ricochet is getting his rematch against AJ Styles at SummerSlam.
Ricochet won a number one contender’s gauntlet match on Raw tonight and will challenge for Styles’ United States Championship at SummerSlam. The pay-per-view is taking place at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on August 11.
